-V, --version

Print version and exit

Operations:

-a, --add

Add realm or principal to database.

-d, --dump

Dump entries in database.

-n, --key-add

Add new key to a principal in database.

--key-remove

Remove a key from a principal in database.

-l, --list

List entries in database.

-m, --modify

Modify principal entry in database.

-r, --remove

Remove realm or principal from database.

Parameters:

-f, --force

Allow removal of non-empty realms. (default=off)

--enabled

Print cryptographic key and password in hostkey format. (default=off)

Values:

-E, --encryption-type=STRING

Override default key encryption type. Valid values include 'aes128', 'aes256', 'aes' (same as 'aes256'), '3des', 'des-md5', 'des-md4', 'des-crc', 'des' (same as 'des-md5'), and 'arcfour'.

--key-version=NUMBER

Version of key.

--password[=STRING]

--priority=NUMBER

Specify key priority, used to differentiate between keys when multiple keys are eligible for use. Higher value means higher priority. (default is 0, which mean a random key of the best etype is chosen)

Use a random key. (default)

--salt=STRING

Use specified salt for deriving key. Defaults to concatenation of realm and (unwrapped) principal name.

--string-to-key-parameter=HEX

Encryption algorithm specific parameter for

-c, --configuration-file=FILE Use specified configuration file.

-o, --library-options=STRING

Parse string as configuration file statement.
